stang8s Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I picked up a used sheraton today but I am having trouble identifying it and have concerns with it.. It has no serial number on the back of the headstock and it has no label inside of it.. I notice most of the ones i see online/ebay have grover tuners, these are unmarked. I also notice the Ps on the Epiphone inlay on mine are cut flat on top as seen in the photo, the ones i find online are not like that.. Any info/ideas? Seems to be really nicely made and plays well. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vomer Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Got some more pics of the rest? There are a couple of clues but I'd rather see the rest before commenting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender 4 Life Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 It probably was made around 89-92 at the korean Samick factory back then most if not all Epis had been made there, they had serialnumber stickers which probably had been fallen off yes..... dont know when they started stamping ser. numbers into the headstock as opposed to using paper stickers, but the "Gibson" Truss cover makes it pre mid '04. looks like a nice one btw!

barosborough Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I have one in that timeframe on the FedEx truck now. Can't wait for it's arrival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaxxine Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Here is a shot of the body That's definitely the Samick 'harmonica' bridge on there. So coupled with the other replies on here, looks like an early Samick-built job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
